Sebastian's Chess Set (Blade Runner, Great Birds)
- Thread starter Slash-5
- Start date
Amazing presentation of the chess set! Looking at it and hearing the history - yes alot of those pieces look very fragile lol. Hopefully the maker chose wisely the type of resin and the amounts of marble chalk etc. The resin and plastic technologies today far outpace what was available as a substrate in the 70's and 80's so these types of pieces can be made quite durably these days.

For those of you in the US, did your DHL tracking number that Hoyle’s sent you work for tracking? Emily said my set would ship first thing Monday and I got the tracking number, but it still says that it can’t be located when I try to track it on DHL’s site. Seems like it should be showing up in the system by now.

The tracking number I got hasn't worked. However I received a notification from DHL since I have an account and they had a different number. It looks like it is the same item so I've just been using that. Estimated delivery was today (east coast) but I think it will be delivered tomorrow.

My tracking number works. I just put the waybill number in the “track” box on DHL’s site and it gives me the entire shipping history. Supposedly it arrived in my city this morning.

I used the waybill number also and was able to go through a fairly detailed tracking log.

Just heard back from Emily that 4 of the sets going out to the US through DHL were returned (inexplicably) to Hoyle's today. They're looking into the issue and will get them sent out again as soon as possible.

My set was delivered about a half hour ago while I was in the shower - despite DHL saying a signature was required. They left it on my front step, never even rang the doorbell and the tracking now says that I signed for it haha. I won’t have a chance to inspect them until the weekend. But I did open the outer box since I was curious what number I got. I got 19/20.

Are only the first 20 numbered? Or are all the " limited Blade Runner edition" numbered?

I believe they will all be numbered.
Thank you for this thread, i have been away from the RPF for a couple of months and i cant believe that i almost missed this! Thank you for all the hard work on getting this set to the fans. Saw this thread yesterday and immediately ordered. I have the Gekko set but was a little disappointed by the detail and color of the white pieces especially.
